GUIDE 

BETWEEN WASHINGTON, BALTIMORE, PHILADEL- 
PHIA, NEW YORK, AND BOSTON 



THE CITY OF VVASHIMGTON, 

The seat of government of the United States, is on the left 
bank of the river Potomac, in latitude 38° 53' north ; being 
40 miles from Baltimore, 137 from Philadelphia, and 225 
miles from New York, by one continuous line of railroads. 

In 1790, Congress passed " An act for establishinnr the 
temporary and permanent seat of the Government of tho 
United States," directing the nev/ location to be styled, Tna 
District of Columbia. Pursuant to this act, Gen. ^Vash- 
ington, as I*resident, selected this site for the scat of the 
Federal Government, and had the city laid out on a mag- 
nificent plan, suitable for the capital of a great and powerful 
nation. 

In 1800, Congress for the first time took up its permanent 
abode in the new district ; and in May, 1802, Washington 
was incorporated as a city, being governed by a Mayor and 
Board of Aldermen. It now contains a population of about 
30,000 inhabitants, and many splendid edifices. 

The avenues and streets are wide and airy, many of them 
lined with stores and commodious dwellings, and ornamented 
with beautiful shade-trees. The Avenues are named after 
the different states of the Union, and are from 120 to 160 
feet wide ; the other streets are from 70 to 110 feet wide. 
The ground on which the city is built, rises with a gentle 
acclivity from the river to the height of 50 to 100 feet above 
the tide waters of the Potomac. Only a small part of the 
extensive plan, however, is yet covered with buildings. 

The business of the city is principally confined to Penn- 
sylvania Avenue, betv.^een the Capitol and the President's 



10 CITY OF WASHINGTON. 

House. Omnibuses and other carriages are always to be 
found on this street, offering- a convenient mode of convey- 
ance between the distant points of the city. 

On the first arriyal of tiie stranger at the city of Wash- 
ington, the fine situation and grand proportions of the Capitol 
of the Union, strike him with admii-ation. lis dome, rising 
to tl)e height of 230 feet above the tide waters of tlie Poto- 
mac, presents from its top a magnificent prospect, embracing 
the whole of the District of Columbia, an area of 10 miles 
square, and a large additional tract of the surrounding coun- 
try, with the meanderings of the river, and the Chesapeake 
and Ohio Canal. 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS 

The Capitol of the United States is a lofty and com- 
manding edifice, surrounded by beautiful grounds of about 
22 acres in extent, the whole enclosed by a substantial iron 
fence. The building alone covers upwards of an acre and a 
half, and was finished in 1827, at a total cost of ,*$1,74G,718. 
The interior finish is in many respects gorgeous and well 
adapted for public purposes. 

The President's House, one mile west of the Capitol, is 
an object of interest, and a place of great resort both for 
strangers visiting the metropolis, and for politicians. The 
mansion is 170 feet front, 8G feet deep, and two stories high, 
constructed ol white freestone, with Ionic pilasters. It is 
surrounded by twenty acres of ground, laid out with taste, 
and planted in part with forest trees and shrubbery. 

The Treasury Building, located on Fifteenth street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, is a noble structure, 457 feet long. 
The colonnade in front is very imposing, being the entire 
length of the buildiug, consisting of thirty-one large fluted 
columns, in the style of the temple of Minerva Polios, at 
Athens. 

The buildings devoted to the Departments of State, War, 
and the Navy, are but indifferent edifices, built of brick. 
They stand near the President's House, at convenient dis- 
tances apart for all business purposes. The rooms of the 
several Secretaries, and other officers, are furnished plainly, 
but with appropriate neatness. 

The General Post Office is a beautiful marble building, 
of the Corinthian style of architecture. It contains eighty 
room.s, and is well arranged for the purposes of the Depart- 



CITY OF WASHINGTON. 11 

ment. It stands on E street, about equidistant from the 
Capitol and the President's House. 

The Patent Offjce has become the most interesting de- 
pository in the Union. The building stands on F street, and 
is 280 feet long, 70 feet deep, and two stories high, with a 
basement The first floor and basement contain each oae 
large room, for models,and eight smaller ones, for offices, &c. 

The upper floor, in one room, 275 feet by 65, is occupied 
by the " National Institution for the Promotion of Science." 
This is considered one of the most splendid rooms in America, 
and now contains an array of choice specimens of art and 
curiosities of nature, unrivalled on the continent. The noble 
collection contributed b}?^ the South Sea Exploring Expedi- 
tion, alone constitutes a powerful attraction, — all of which 
is thrown open to the public free of charge. 

The Green-house, in the rear of the above building, also 
attracts great attention, and is well worth visiting. 

The models of mechanical genius and art, and the natural 
curiosities here deposited, in the same building, together with 
the statuary and paintings in the rotunda of the Capitol, 
alone render Washington a place of great interest at all sea- 
sons of the year. 

The United States Observatory, situated on an emi- 
nence, about one mile west of the President's House, near 
Georgetown, is well worthy of a visit. From the top is af- 
forded a view of great extent and interest, embracing the 
city of Washington, Georgetown, the Potomac river, and 
the surrounding country for many miles. 

The United States Navy Yard, about one mile east of 
the Capitol, is a place of much national interest and im- 
portance, where may usually be seen armed vessels of a 
large class. 

The Washington Arsenal stands on Greenleaf *s Point, 
one mile south of the Capitol. It is on a commanding posi- 
tion, occupying a tract of land about a quarter of a mile 
square, being surrounded by water on three sides, presenting 
a fine appearance from the river and adjoining shores. Here 
are located several buildings for the use of the ofiicers and 
soldiers ; magazines, storehouses, and workshops. 

The other public buildings are, the City Hall, Jail, Pen- 
itentiary, and four Markets. 

The Smithsonian Institute, situated west of the Capitol, 
is a new and beautiful edifice.

VICINITY OF WASHINGTON. 13 



VICINITY OF V/ASHIMGTOW. 

Georgetown, situated three miles west of the Capitol, is 
at the head of navigation on the Potomac river, and is a port 
of entry, where centres a large amount of business. It con- 
tained, in 1840, 7,712 inhabitants. Many members of Con- 
gress, and others, connected with the government, reside 
here, it being of easy access, by means of carriages and om- 
nibuses. The Heights of Georgetown are well M'^orth 
visiting. From this eminence can be seen the cities of 
Georgetown and Washington — tlie Potomac river, and tlie 
Chesapeake and Ohio canal, — the aqueduct and the bridge 
across the river, — and the surrounding cGuntr3^ 

Alexandria, situated on the south bank of the Potomac, 
seven miles south of the Capitol, and about 180 miles from 
the ocean, is an old and interesting city, and a place of con- 
siderable trade. The population in 1840, was 8,459. Here 
Gen. Braddock, in 1755, organized his army for the west; 
and here Washington, the father of the future republic, not 
only made himself distinguished, in his early j'cars, but cir- 
cumstances of a peculiar nature produced a mutual attach- 
ment, which led him to say, in writing from Yorktown, that, 
" Amidst all the vicissitudes of time and fortune, he should 
ever regard v.'ith particular affection, the citizens and inhab- 
itants of Alexandria." The Museum at this place- is well 
worthy attention, as it contains m.any personal relics of Gen. 
Washington, as well as a large and valuable collection of 
specimens in natural history. 

A steamboat runs several times daily between Washington 
and Alexandria — fare 12 ^ cents, — affording a delightful ex- 
cursion in pleasant weather. 

Mount Vernon, eight miles below Alexandria, on the 
Virginia side of the Potomac, is a spot that will alwaj's be 
held in veneration by the American public, as being the fa- 
vorite place of residence of Washington, while living, and as 
now containing his remains, which are here entombed. This,

On leaving Washington for Baltimore, by railroad, a di^j- 
tance of 40 miles, (fare J$1.80,) the cars start from the depot 
near the Capitol, and run in a northeasterly direction to 

Bladensburg, Md., G miles. This is an ancient place, on 
the eastern branch of tlie Potomac. It is celebrated as the 
scene of an engagement, during the last war with Great 
Britain, in which the Americans being defeated and dis- 
persed, the enemy marched on to Washington, which fell 
into their hands. It is also celebrated as a dueling ground. 

The Annapolis Railroad commences 20 miles from 
Washington, and diverges eapterly to Annapolis, the cajutal 
of the state of Maryland, which is about 40 miles, by rail- 
road, from Washington and Baltimore. 

Elkridge Landing, 11 miles farther, is an old settlement, 
situated on the south bank of the Patapsco river. The via' 
duct which crosses the river near this place, and sustains the^ 
railroad track, is a splendid piece of masonry. 

The Relay House, 32 miles from Washington, and 8 
from Baltimore, stands at the point where diverges the 
branch railroad to the former place. The main track of tho 
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which is finished to Cum- 
berland, a distance of 178 miles, is now passed over in going 
to Baltimore. At the Depot in Pratt street, the terminus 
of the great work above named, commences the railroad to 
Philadelphia, a distaxi'r> of 97 miles.

BALTIMORE, 

The principal city of Maryland, and the third in population 
in the Union, is advantageously situated upon the northwest 
branch of the Patapsco river, about 14 miles from the en- 
trance of the main branch into Chesapeake bay. The har- 
bor is safe and capacious, of a depth sufficient to float ships 
of the largest class. This place was first settled in 1729, 
when it took the name of Baltimore, " in compliment to 
the Proprietary, whose ancestor took the title of Baron from 
a seaport of the same name in Ireland." In 1796, a city 
charter was granted by the legislature of the state ; it then 
contained about 20,000 inhabitants. In 1840, the popula- 
tion of the city was 102,513. 

The rapid growth of Baltimore in wealth and numbers, 
has been principally owing to its great natural advantages, 
and the enterprise of its inhabitants. It is about 200 miles 
from the ocean, and 300 miles from the navigable waters of 
the Ohio river, — this being the most accessible point of com- 
munication between the seaboard and the great valley of the 
Mississippi. The completion of the Baltimore and Ohio 
Railroad will always secure to this place a fair proportion 
of the trade of the west. The streets are mostly laid out at 
right angles, and the public buildings, stores, and dwellings 
are principally constructed of brick, in a neat and durable 
style. This place is noted for its monuments and shot-towers, 
which rise to a gi'eat height. Here also are constructed some 
of the finest and fastest sailing vessels that bear the Amer- 
ican flag, — the " Baltimore Clippers" being admired by all 
naval architects. This is a great mart for all kinds of West 
India goods, lumber, wheat, and tobacco, the latter articles 
being exported in large quantifiers. 

Fort M'Henry, situated on a point of land 2 miles below 
the centre of the city, is a strong fortification.

RAILROAI/ AND STEAMBOAT ROUTES. 19 



ROUTES BETWEEN BALTIMORE &, PHILADELPHIA. 

The traveller, during tiie season of -navigation, has a choicts 
of three I nes between Baltimore and Philadelphia ; first, by 
steamboat and railroad route, passing through Chesupeako 
bay, and crossing the state of Delaware, froai FrenchtowTi 
to New CasMe, 16 miles, by railroad, — thence up the Dela- 
ware river to Philadelphia ; second, by one continuous lino 
of railroad, starting from the depot in Pratt St., Baltimore, 
and crossing the Susquehanna river at Havre de Grace by 
a steam ferry, — thence continuing through the states of Ma- 
ryland and Delaware, into Pennsylvania, crossing the 
Schuylkill river at Gray's Ferry, 3 miles from the depot in 
Market St., Philadelphia ; or, via the Baltimore and Susque- 
hanna and the Columbia Railroads. 

BALTIMORE AND PHILADELPHIA STEAMBOAT CO. 

(formerly ERICSSON STEAMBOAT LINE,) 

Convey merchandise, produce, packages, horses, car- 
riages, furniture, and goods of all kinds, between Baltimoro 
and Philadelphia, at the lowest rates, without transhipment, 
and with railroad dispatch, by substantial steamboats, under 
the command of experienced and skilful masters. 

Passengers are also comfortably accommodated by tho 
above lines. A boat leaves Philadelphia daily, (except Sun- 
days,) at 3 o'clock, and Baltimoro at half past 2 o'clock. 
Goods are received at either city at all hours of the day, 

RAILROAD ROUTE 
FROM BALTIMORE TO PHILADELPHIA. 

On leaving Baltimore for Philadelphia, 97 miles, by rail- 
road, (fare, ^4,) the cars start from the depot in Pratt St., 
and run to 

Canton, 3 miles. Here is afforded a fine view of the har- 
bor of Baltimore, and Fort M' Henry, situated on the south 
shore. 

Stemmer's Run, 10^ miles from Baltimore, is the next 
stopping place. 

Gunpowder Depot, 20 miles, is on the north side of tha 
stream of the same name, which forms a wide branch 
or arm of Chesapeake bay, being about 1 mile across. Dw-^

ring cold weather, here are usually found large quantities of 
ducks of various kinds, which frequent the waters of the 
Chesapeake. The most celebrated for their delicacy and 
fine flavor, are the canvass-backs and red-necks ; then come 
the blue-wings, the shufliers, and the teal. The first are 
said to feed on wild celery, which gives them their peculiar 
flavor, so much esteemed by epicures. 

Busii River, 8 miles further, is another wide stream, 
crossed by a railroad bridge, elevated a few feet above the 
water. 

Havre de Grace, 37 miles from Baltimore, and CO miles 
from Philadelphia, is a place of considerable importance. 
Here the Susquelianna river, about half a mile wide, is 
crossed by means of a large steam ferry-boat. The baggage 
cars are run on top, while the passengers change cars, and 
pass over the river in a spacious cabin, or saloon, where re- 
freshments are usually furnished. About 15 minutes are 
taken up in crossing the river, giving time for a hasty meal. 

Northeast, 9 miles from Havre de Grace, is passed on 
the right, a short distance from the road. 

Elkton, 52 miles from Baltimore, and 45 miles from 
Philadelphia, is situated on the west side of Elk river, which 
is navigable to this place. 

Newark, Del., G miles further, is a pleasant place, situated 
a short distance west of the railroad. 

Newport, 8 miles further, is a scattered settlement. 
. Wilmingtox, 70 miles from Baltimore, and 27 from Phil- 
adelphia, is situated on Christiana creek, a navigable tribu- 
tary of the Delaware river, or bay, and 3 miles above its 
confluence. This is the principal place in the state of Del- 
aware, both in numbers and commercial importance, and is 
rapidly increasing. The population in 1840, was 8,367. A 
steamboat runs daily between Wilmington and Philadelphia 

About one mile north of Wilmington, the railroad crosses 
Brandy wine on which stream was fought a sanguinary battle 
between the Americans and English during the revolu- 
tionary war. 

Marcus Hook, Penn., 10 miles from Wilmington, is pleas- 
antly situated on the west bank of the Delaware, which is 
here about one mile wide. 

Chester, 3 miles further, is another pleasant village, and 
has a steamboat landing. 

The Lazaretto for Philadelphia, situated near the river, 
13 next passed on the right. 



PHILADELPHIA. 21 

Fort Mifflin, 2 or 3 miles further north, is situated on 
an island, and commands the approach to Philadelphia by 
water. 

Gray's Ferry, across the Schuylkill, where is now erect- 
ed a bridge, is 3 miles from Philadelphia. Here it is usual 
for the locomotive to stop, the passenger cars being drawn 
into the city by horse power. 

On the approach to Philadelphia from this quarter, can bo 
seen the Almshovse for the city and county, situated on the 
west side of Schuylkill river ; the U. S. Arsenal and Marine 
Hospital, on the east side ; the Eastern Penitentiary, and 
Girard's College in the distance, towards the north. From 
the top of the last building, which is a truly noble structure, 
may be seen the. city of Philadelphia and the surrounding 
countr}', to great advantage. 



PHILADELPHIA 



Philadelphia, 88 miles from New York, 97 miles from 
Baltimore, and 137 miles from Washington, in lat. 39° 56' 
51" N., and long. 1° 46' 30" E. from Washington, ranks, in 
extent, population, trade, and general importance, as the sec- 
ond city in the Union. Its principal front is on the west 
bank of the Delaware river, 105 miles above the mouth of 
Delaware bay, and it extends back 2 miles to the river 
Schuylkill. The largest ships can come up to Philadelphia, 
from which the distance across the Delaware, to Camden, 
N. J., is about one mile. The Schuylkill unites with the 
Delaware about 7 miles below the city, and is navigable for 
brigs and schooners as far up as the permanent bridge, where 
it is about 500 feet wide. Philadelphia is laid out with great 
regularity, with numerous squares, and with streets which 
cross each other at right angles. The city proper, consid- 
ered as distinct from its adjoiniug suburbs, is bounded, north 
by Vine st., and south by Cedar st. The suburbs called 
Kensington, the Northern Liberties, and Spring Garden, on 
the north side, and Southwark and Moyamensing on the 
south side, occupy, with the city proper, a compactly built 
area of 3 square miles, containing, in 1840, a population of 
220,423 souls. The streets, the principal ones 112 feet wide, 
and the subordinate ones 50 feet wide, are generally well

paved, and bordered by roomy side--\valks laid with brick, 
all kept remarkably clean. The houses, generally of brick, 
with white marble steps, and window-sills, and lintels, are 
very uniform and commodious, and present an aspect of un- 
usual neatness, elegance, and comfort. Chesnut and Arch 
Btrcets are among the most agreeable promenades in the 
United States. 

The business of the city, especially its foreign and coast- 
Lig trade, is transacted chiefly on the Delaware side ; though, 
eince the great development of the coal trade of the interior, 
l)y means of canals and the improvement of the Schuylkill, 
wharves and warehouses have been much extended on that 
eide ; and these improvements, in connection with the rail- 
road made by the state from Philadelphia to Columbia, and 
with the Reading and Pottsville railroad, have contributed 
largely to the extension of all the western section of the 

The number of houses for public worship, of the various 
denominations, is about 150, and though generally built in 
plain and simple style, they are very neat, and some of them 
elegant and costly. Philadelphia is honorably distinguished 
for the philanthropic spirit of its inhabitants, and for the num- 
ber and judicious management of its charitable institutions. 
Among these, the Pennsylvania Hospital, the various Dis- 
pensaries, the Almshouses, Orphan Asylums, Institutions for 
the Deaf and Dumb, the Lunatic Asylum, the Humane So- 
ciety, the Savings-fund Society, and various other moral, 
religious, and benevolent establishments, are particularly 
worthy of notice. The institutions for the promotion of lit- 
erature, science, and the arts, are also on a highly respecta- 
ble footing. Among the most prominent and useful of these, 
are the University of Pennsylvania, the Athenaeum, the 
Philosophical Society, the Academy of Fine Arts, the Acad- 
emy of Natural Science, the Franklin Institute, several Li- 
braries, the Medical Society, the College of Physicians, the 
College of Pharmacy, the Musical Fund Society, Jefferson 
Medical College, a Law Academy, &lc. &c. 

The literary journals, and the daily and weekly newspa- 
pers, are numerous and of respectable character. The city 
can also boast of some of the largest publishing houses in the 
Union ; and its educational means, including not only the 
ordinary schools, but the higher institutions, for professional 
as well as general literature, are ample. But the most re- 
markable institution in the city, both for the extent cf its en-

dowmeut, and the magnificence of its princ"pal edifice, is the 
Girard College, constructed of wiiite marble, in the richest 
stjle of architecture, and adorned with columns of the most 
superb and costly workmanship. This edifice is 218 feet by 
160 feet ; and four other buildings, also of marble, are asso- 
ciated with it, each 125 feet by .52 feet, for the accommoda- 
tion of professors and pupils. The College grounds form a 
handsome area of 45 acres, pleasantly situated on the Ridge 
road, about 2 miles from the centre of the city. On the 
southern front of the principal edifice, the name and object 
of the institution are inscribed, in these words: " Girard Col- 
lege for Orphans, founded A. D. 1833. Southern portico 
finished, 1844."

RAILROAD ROUTES. 



ROUTES BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW YORK. 

There are two great lines of travel between the cities of 
Philadelphia and New York : — 

1st. The Camden and Aniboij Railroad Line, commen- 
cing at Camden, N.J., opposite the city of Philadelphia, and 
extending along tlie left bank of the Delaware river to Bor- 
dentown, then diverging across the state of New Jersey to 
South Amboy, on Raritan bay, whence passengers are con- 
veyed by steamboat to the city of New York, usually pass- 
ing through Staten Island sound, and across the bay of New 
York, and landing near the Battery. 

2d. By a continuous line of railroads, running from Phila- 
delphia, on the right bank of the Delaware to Morrisville, 
opposite the city of Trenton, N. J., — thence across the Del- 
aware river, through Trenton, New Brunswick, Elizabeth- 
town, and Newark, to Jersey City, whence passengers are 
conveyed across the Hudson river — here about one mile 
wide — in commodious steam ferry-boats, to the foot of Lib- 
erty street, in the city of New York. 



RAILROAD ROUTE 

FROM PHILADELPHIA TO NEW YORK, via TREN- 
TON, NEW BRUNSWICK, AND NEWARK. 

On leaving Philadelphia by this route, the passengers are 
usually conveyed by steamboat, during the season of nav- 
igation, from Walnut st. wharf to Bristol, Pa., 20 miles 
by water. This is a pleasant place, situated on the west 
side of the Delaware river, 10 miles below Trenton, N. J., by 
railroad. Here terminates the Delaware Branch of the 
Pennsylvania Canal, in a spacious basin, which commu- 
nicates with the Delaware river. 

Burlington, N. J., is situated on the east side of Dela- 
■ware river, nearly opposite Bristol, being 12 miles below 
Trenton, by the river, which is somewhat circuitous. The 
banks of the river in this vicinity are bordered by elegant 
dwellings, chiefly the country-seats of opulent citizens of 
Philadelphia. 

BoRDENTowN, N. J., situated on the east side of the Dd- 
aware river, 27 miles from Philadelphia, is on the line of the 



28 RAILROAD ROUTES. 

Camden and Amhoy Railroad, connected, however, with 
the New Brunsivick and Trenton Railroad, by a branch 
road, 7 miles in length. Here terminates the Delaware and 
Raritan Canal, affording a water communication between 
the cities of Philadelphia and New York. Joseph Bonaparte 
(Count de Surveilliers) chose this as the place of his resi- 
dence while in the United States, and erected a splendid 
mansion, surrounded by extensive and highly ornamented 
grounds, which still belong to the family. 

The city of Tkentox, 29 miles from Philadelphia, and 59 
miles from New York, by railroad route, is the capital of the 
state of New Jersey. It stands on the left bank of the Del- 
aware river, at the head of sloop navigation, and contains a 
state house, built of stone ; a house for the residence of the 
governor ; 3 fire-proof state offices, and a state prison ; 7 
churches; 2 banks; a public library, and a lycciim. Popu- 
lation in 1840, 4,035. This place is memorable for the 
"Battle of Trenton," December 25th, 1776, when 1000 
Hessians were captured by Gen. Washington, with a trifling 
loss on the part of the Americans. 

Princeton, 10 miles from Trenton, is pleasantly situated 
a short distance north of the railroad. It is mostly built on 
one extended street, and contains about 1200 inhabitants. 
The College of New Jersey is located here, having been 
founded in 1746, at Elizabethtown, and removed to Prince- 
ton in 1757. It has a president, 12 professors, 263 students, 
and a library of 11,000 volumes. The commencement is on 
the last Wednesday in September. The Princeton Theo- 
logical Seminary, of the Presbyterian church, and founded 
in 1812, is also located here. It has 5 professors, 113 stu- 
dents, and 7000 volumes in its library. 

The city of New Brunswick, 29 miles from Trenton, and 
31 miles from New York, by railroad, stands on the right 
bank of the Raritan river, 14 miles from the head of the bay 
at Amboy. It was incorporated in 1784, and now contains 
a court-house and jail, 7 churches, 2 banks, and 8,693 in- 
habitants. This is the seat of Rutgers^ College, which was 
founded in 1770, and has a president, 10 professors, and be- 
tween 60 and 90 students. The Delaware and Raritan 
Canal commences at New Brunswick, and runs through 
Trenton to Bordentown, a distance of 42 miles, affording a 
safe water communication between the cities of New York 
and Philadelphia. 

Raiiway, 12 miles from New Brunswick, and 1.^ miles 



HAtLROAD ROUTES. 29 

from New York, is situated on both sides of Rahway river. 
The village contains about 2,500 inhabitants, 6 churches, an 
academy, a bank, and an insurance office, besides several 
large manufacturing establishments. 

Ejlizabethtow.n, 5 miles from Newark, and 14 miles from 
New York, is a delightful place of residence, situated about 
2 miles west of Eiizabethport, on Staten Island sound. It 
contains a court-house and jail, a bank, an insurance office, 
and 6 churches. The population is about 3000. The New 
Jersey Railroad, and the Elizabethtown and Somerville 
Railroad, both pass through this place. The latter com- 
mences at Eiizabethport, from whence a steamboat runs 
several times daily to the city of New York, passing through 
" the Kills," and the bay of New York, affording a delight- 
ful excursion during the summer months. 

The city of Newark, 9 miles from New York, and 79 
miles from Philadelphia, is advantageously situated on the 
west side of the Passaic river, three miles from its entrance 
into Newark bay. This is the most flourishing and populous 
place in the state, containing, in 1840, 17,290 inhabitants. 
It is regularly laid out, the streets being generally broad and 
straight, many of them ornamented with shade trees. Two 
large public squares, bordered by lofty trees, add much to 
the beauty of the city, which is a very desirable place of 
residence. The public buildings are, a court-house and 
jail ; 17 churches, several of them being handsome and 
costly edifices ; 3 banking-houses, and 3 insurance compa- 
nies. The trade and navigation of Newark is large and in- 
creasing, there being here owned between 60 and 70 vessels, 
engaged in the coasting trade, besides some whale -ships. 
The manufacture of articles of leather, and of carriages, is 
very extensive, employing a capital of about $500,000, and 
several hundred mechanics. In addition to the New Jersey 
Railroad, which passes through the city, the Morris and 
Essex Railroad commences at this place, and extends to 
Morristown, 22 miles. The Morris Canal also runs through 
the city, in its route from Jersey City to the Delaware river. 
On leaving Newark, the line of the railroad passes over the 
Passaic river, across an extensive marsh, and over the Hack- 
ensack river to Bergen Hill, which is passed through by 
means of a deep rock excavation. 

Jersey City, 87 miles from Philadelphia, by railroad 
route, is situated on the west side of the Hudson, opposite 
New York, with which it is connected by a steam-ferry, the 



30 RAILROAD AND STEAMBOAT ROUTES. 

rivor here being about one mile wide. This is a flourishing 
place of business, \rhere are located a number of extensive

New Jersey Railroad, and the Fntcrson and Hudson 
Railroad, both commence here, and have fine depots and

During the summer season, pafc'sengcrs are usually con- 
veyed by steamboat from Bordentown to Philadelphia, stop- 
ping at Bristol, Pa., to land and receive passengers. 

This is a pleasant route during v/arm weather, aflbrding a 
fine view of the harbor and bay of New York, Staten Island, 
and the New Jersey shore, — passing through Stafcn Island 
sound, and landing at South Amboy, at the mouth of the 
Rariian river, where commences the Camden aiid Amboy 
Railroad. 

On arriving at Bordentown, the Delaware river and sur- 
rounding country presents varied and picturesque scenery, 
much enhanced by the high state of cultivation and beauti- 
ful country residences which adorn the banks of the Dela- 
ware, for many miles above and below Philadelphia.
